"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"They don’t go in your ears at all. they just kind of clip on gently and sit there. ... no pressure ... way more comfy than anything I’ve tried."
"The IEMs really stay in my ears thanks to the free Spring Tips. I shook my head really hard for a few seconds and it didn't fall out my ears."
"just clips on the outside of your ear and feels super light, no pressure at all."

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."

"The callers can hear everything in the background noise. All conversations, wind, etc"
"the calls are really bad in noisy environments."
"My biggest gripe with these is the transparency mode and ANC. I think it's terrible. ... With both features, anytime a "loud" noise is detected it makes a loud clipping sound and turns either transparency or anc off on the ear the sound was detected. ... This is super annoying to me so I don't even use these features."

"Honestly I hate the case. ... It's always activating in my pockets. ... I wish there was a way to lock the case. ... The novelty of the case quickly wears off."
"The case should just be a charging case. The wireless charging option is legit, but I could do without the rest. Touchscreen, etc. Especially when everything can be done through the app."

"ANC is average. ... It's not up there with flagships I'm afraid ... ANC is not improved much compared to the live pro which is a real shame"
"call quality not amazing in noisy environments. ... They dont appear that much improved over the live pro 2 ... it didn't block much background noise. ... Same with beam 3. It blocks noise when u are not speaking but once you start the background noise still comes through."
JBL live beam 3 with the smart case really awesome features and works great with pixel
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I use the JBL LIVE BEAM3, I believe there 199$ from Best Buy. Their case is touch screen and you can put photos on it for the screen. Real cool I like em 8/10
r/motorcyclegear • Best ear buds for under the helmet ->If you want in ear, earbuds JBL Beam, Tribit Flybuds, JLab Jbuds line, Sony c 510 are good. Earfun is good too: Earfun Air 2 or Earfun Air Pro 4.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Are there any budget Bluetooth headphones that don’t suck? ->If you want earbuds with screen that actually works properly then buy the jbl live beam or buds 3, they're miles better than these temu off brand airpods.
r/Earbuds • Are these a good upgrade? ->I recently bought the JBL Live Beam 3. So far I'm liking it.
r/S25Ultra • Best buds or headphones to use with s25 ultra? ->I do. I use JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds. They cancel out the sound of the bike almost entirely. Only issue is the “whoop” “whop” sound from the pulsating wind changing pressure constantly and the headphones trying to compensate. I also use to use the cheaper JBL 230 NC headphones, which honestly sound better to me, but the Live Beam 3 noise cancellation is more absolute.
r/motorcycle • Anyone with experience/success with active noise isolation ear buds for highway hearing protect? ->I use the blue tiger advantage plus. Battery is outstanding, I think I charge it like once a month. No issues being heard. Sound quality sucks but it’s a phone call so who cares. That being said, I’ve tried AirPods, soundcore liberty 4 pro, JBL buds and beam 3s, Bose quiet comfort buds…. JBL had the best sound quality but they all SUCK at phone calls and battery life. Honestly just stick headsets. The boom mic is what is crucial for us in the truck.
r/Truckers • Best earbuds? ->I kinda came to the conclusion that the mid priced range is good enough, considering they don't seem to last all that long. Just got some JBL live 3 , I'm really happy with them they sound great
r/Earbuds • Are expensive earbuds really worth it anymore? ->Just bought JBL live beam 3 , they should good to me when I go to the gym, not too expensive
r/Earbuds • What are the best earbuds for the gym? ->I got lucky and received them early. They were meant to be released in Europe end of May but are not showing anywhere via jbl or amazon sites which is odd. 9nly a few European and UK youtubers have them but most of their reviews have been basic apart from the UK youtuber what gear ( he was also a fan of thd live pro 2) Basically the live beam 3 is the successor to the live pro 2.. I think if I remember rightly when I used to have the live pro 2, I had to adjust the sound on them to get it how I like it ( and they do sound good) But with the beam the default is great, oddly they come with the eq turned off. I switch between studio and bass profiles currently. I didn't bother with the personal eq yet as I had poor results when I tested the same feature with the tour pro headphones. Spatial audio is also not great imho but it's there if u want it and easy to activate via thd case When comparing to the live pro 2 I can safely say that the anc and transparency are both imrproved. Control customisation is still a little limited but it's more than enough. I really like the speak to chat feature and first few tests show it to be very reliable so far. For the private mode I will check again, I think I may have just automatically assumed it was for a special earbud only as that is how LG implemented it.. I'll double check later and get bsck to you on that. The only thing jbl lacked was high res codec support and now we have it.. But unfortunately I'm not even using ldac and I still like the sound... I've not used the airpods or mtw but I would say they are really close to the Technics. The technics have a more natural transparency mode though but the single tap gesture on the jbl is a quicker interaction making switching modes more seamless with the jbl. These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them Let me know if u have any other questions I'll try and get images up later too.
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->About the same from memory. I thought live pro 2 call quality was good, but it didn't block much background noise. Same with beam 3. It blocks noise when u are not speaking but once you start the background noise still comes through. There is a new whisper/private chat mode that I'll have to test as well though.
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->These are still solid for calls but the best I've used in noisy environments are the huawei freebuds pro 3. Elite 10 are pretty good too 👌 but the Freebuds Pro 3 literally silences the background whilst still allowing your voice to come through. The jbl live beam 3 also has the most customisation in regard to calls I've even seen in buds. Adjust hearthrough, mute in call using case, adjust how the person on the other end sounds and adjust how you sound as well. Solid job by jbl
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->Very little difference apart from case. Slightly better anc on beam and better overall sound but mics and transparency mode feels about the same.
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->Honestly I hate the case. It's always activating in my pockets. I wish there was a way to lock the case. The novelty of the case quickly wears off. Call quality is good and the whisper mode works pretty well but I want to do a full comparison with lgs whisper mode. I'll try them both tomorrow. I dotn care much for spatial audio either but at least the jbl version is improved from whst they had before.. It was an echo chamber mess last time 😂 now it's usable
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->i use jbl live beam 3 and i guess the sound quality is much better than airpods
r/airpods • Several days later, let's be honest... ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
